Musicology PhD

Anglia Ruskin University

Our PhD research programmes will allow you to join one of our research projects or explore your own interests in Musicology, supported by the expertise of our staff. Our research encompasses critical and contextual investigation, mostly focused on twentieth-century and contemporary music and performance practice, including Cuban music for example, but also early music practice and reception through the work of ethnomusicologist researchers. These areas of investigation frequently support the practice-based activities of contributing staff, both in the areas of composition and performance.The interdisciplinary nature of our research creates a rich and stimulating environment for staff and students. You’ll benefit from a variety of research-oriented events, including our Faculty and departmental research seminar series, performance events and international conferences.We also enjoy links with the wider community, including local arts venues like The Junction, the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse and Kettle's Yard the University of Cambridge's Centre for Research into Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and various NHS health providers.
